Vantage Front Splitter

This is the cheapest one I've found, ($550) and it's Carbon Fiber instead of the Cheap Plastic Aston installed. Anyone find one better than this one?

Did you happen to get one of these splitters? And if you did how do you like it?
The price seems realy good almost too good compared to other offerings.
Also when I looked at their web site there are two different splitters offered. I don't know what the difference is between the two.

It looks like the one the OP posted doesn't go all the way across the bumper, the diameter only reaches up to where the original plastic piece reaches, which would look terrible if that is the case. The RSC front splitter is nearly twice the price, but twice as good looking because it goes all the way across. Here is a photo of mine: Name:  DSC01546_zpsa8fhrzen.jpg

On that site, there are actually two types.
One only covering part of the front which is the splitter and the one that looks similar to the RSC one is the V style front splitter.

I'm considering to order it before I order the kam tail as well

Cross-post from the other thread about this same thing:

I've never heard of them but you're going to run into two main issues: shipping costs take away a lot of the cost savings, and it isn't uncommon to run into fitment issues with cheaper products.

I just got an email from them. V style splitter shipped to Florida $513.47

Shipping was only $67.56

I'm waiting to hear back from them as to the difference between the two splitters that they offer. The other splitter is $561.19 shipped.

Will let y'all know when I have more information.

The original link goes to one that mimics the OEM plastic piece, but made out of carbon fiber (like on the N400, which is available as an OEM retrofit, along with the carbon fiber rear diffuser).
If they have one that looks like RSC's, that's a completely different design that replaces the OEM one and gives an actual lip to the car.

I ended up ordering the OEM plastic splitter from Aston Martin in Walnut Creek California. About $150.

The pre-facelift one he's referring to is more of a scuff plate than a splitter. It's just the thin plastic piece that goes under the front lip of the car.

The order I placed has been canceled. I canceled after a week of no response and the telling me that the shipping was expensive and I would have to send him another $150. So I canceled it he should have honored the price he quoted and that I had paid him.
